Set in Los Angeles in 1969, the movie will follow Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), a former star of a Western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt) are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don't recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate.

Director Quentin Tarantino has gone on the record to say that this isn't a movie that is going to exploit the very real murders that took place the night Sharon Tate died which was a criticism that came up once the movie was announced. The movie is set for an August 2019 release date so we can expect production to start soon and maybe a few more casting announcements.

A TV actor and his stunt double embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry during the Charles Manson murders in 1969 Los Angeles.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, directed by Quentin Tarantino, stars Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Damian Lewis, Luke Perry, Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, and Brad Pitt. It will be released on August 9th, 2019.
